This is the third course in our Integrated Visceral Techniques Series, a comprehensive training in hands-on techniques designed to give practitioners the skills to assess and treat multiple symptom pictures impacting digestion and other aspects of our physiology.
This course involves a 2-day, hands-on, in-person workshop focused on learning to address a myriad of issues by treating the large intestine, kidneys, uterus, ovaries, bladder, and prostate.
Since understanding the relevant anatomy and physiology of the organs greatly improves our hands-on work, we provide online lectures in the associated anatomy and physiology to complement our in-person training. Students are expected to review the online materials before our in-person time together.

About IVT III
This course gives students a great opportunity to integrate work from previous courses and build on their conceptual map. Most of what we will be learning to treat is “retro-peritoneal.” This gives us an opportunity to revisit the importance of the peritoneum and also deepen our understanding of the interrelationships between the visceral fascia and the myofascia.
Because the diaphragm and sphincters are central to effective visceral work students will continue to evolve their approach here. Then we will get into new content. Starting with the cecum and ascending colon. We will learn sidelying work for the ascending and descending colons. This work will also address the flexures and sigmoid colon.
Next we will work with the visceral fascial milieu of the kidneys. The kidneys have strong myofascial relationships and students will add to their skills for treating lower back pain. Treating the kidneys will also emphasize a technique for working with the kidney vasculature. This supports the kidneys and can help with the blood flow into the lumbar spine. These techniques compliment our myofascial series.
The second part of the course will address treatment for the visceral fascial milieu of the uterus, ovaries, bladder and prostate. Our course gives students an approachable anatomical map for what can be a difficult area to understand and work with. Our approach is accessible and helpful. It is a great compliment for folks who are also doing internal pelvic floor work and gives those of us who do not do that work skills to use to support these areas.
Conditions potentially treated by skills learned in this course:
- Constipation/Diarrhea
- Water metabolism issues
- Back pain: the colon and kidney are often involved in back pain issues
- Hip and leg pain: visceral adhesions of kd and LI can irritate nerve roots in lower back causing radiating symptoms
- Menstrual cramps and dysmenorrhea
- Care during pregnancy and after delivery
- Post surgical care for any of the covered areas
- Endometriosis symptoms
- Bladder issues
- Enlarged prostate
